Fortunately for me, WHYN 560 (Springfield, MA) doesn't run the Red Sox anymore, so we get to hear Howie's entire show.
If Howie leaves WRKO, do you think his shows on the syndicated stations (like WHYN) will stay the same?
I'm loving Howie's endless jokes about Granny Warren, btw! The Chump Line was hysterical today, lol.
The story is that the Boston Phoenix’s alternative rock
station WFNX FM 101.7 is being sold to Clear Channel
which owns WXKS AM 1200 (Jeff Katz, Rush, Beck, Jay
Severin, Hannity). Rumors of format change include
Spanish talk, adult contemporary, and even conservative
talk (i.e. a new FM home for 1200). He probably could wind up at 96.9 FM Talk, which is owned by Greater Media, or possibly at AM 1200 (or possibly FM 101.7 if it goes that way).
Supposedly a former radio exec Bruce Mittman is predicting
(predicting, not sure!) that the 1200 talk to 101.7 could happen. Again, a prediction, not true yet. (The sale has
to be approved by the FCC which can take a few weeks or
a couple months.)
Howie has said if he does leave the affiliate stations
will still run him. Fear not. His contract is prob.
up at end of Sept.
Yes a funny chump line today!
